Despite all the above, there is, for some reason, a modern “penis enlargement” industry. According to this, practically all approaches advertised are scams, and no technique short of surgery actually works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_enlargement
This is the SDMB, frets. Penis questions are always appropriate.
Unfortunately, you needed size 6 Arial Narrow font to fit it all on.
I grew up in Cinnaminson, NJ (a stones throw from Pennsauken). I understand that they are going to (or are about to) demolish one of the finest shopping emporiums known to mankind, the Pennsauken Mart . I will miss the smell the most. Do you still live there (Pennsauken, not the Mart)?
Sorry, I got thinking (for the umpteenth time) about unsheathing my longsword in the Florida State Penitentiary for Women – sex crimes wing, and I mixed up my acronyms. It should be:
EPL : Erect Penile Length
EPFPL: Erect Penis in a Female Penitentiary Length.
This needed clarification
Actually, I am at work, so no cites, but I believe women who express a preference are at least as likely to prefer smaller-than-average than larger.
But based on my locker-room observations, three inches when flaccid doesn’t seem unusually small to me. Nor can I figure out why it would matter.
And I am bound to say that this -

Why, if my John Thomas were that small I’d be forced to buy a large expensive SUV to compensate!
made me very glad I don’t own an SUV, so I could laugh.

Girlie’s point of view here:
I think you’ll find that girls really don’t care if you’re not large. In fact, a lot of girls are more comfortable when confronted with a smaller wang because it’s not as intimidating, especially if it’s their first time or if they tend to experience pain with intercourse. Of course, you are only 16 so you may still have girth and/or length to gain. Not to mention experience, so I’ll tell ya about something you have to look forward to if you don’t grow much more…I’ve heard that oral can be quite enjoyable for smaller guys since it’s easier for the partner to fit more in their mouth.
I may only be three inches, but some girls like it that thick.
:rolleyes:
But seriously. As has been said already the only people who give a damn about penis size are guys. I’m in with the “grower” crowd, and while it may not be much coming out of the pool, it’s never disappointed going into the bedroom, and I’m fairly average in that department, too.
'Tisn’t the size of the staff, it’s how you tap it, sez Gandalf.

Discussion: some fat person
Guest: “I couldn’t even tell if it was a man or a woman.”
Johnny: “Yeah, a cold swimming pool does that to me.”
Just remember it ain’t the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog. Technique is what matters. If it’s that big a deal to you, you just might get an offer to enlarge it in your email.

And porn directors. Ever seen an average-sized dick in an adult film?
[guys pile on: “Sure! Every single one! What?!”]

Yeah, but to guys, the men in porn are just live dildos, so they don’t count.
By the time anyone who matters sees your penis, she’ll have already decided about you. It’s not exactly as if you’re going to passionately rip each others’ clothes off, then she looks down and says “Oh, never mind.”. So even if you were freakishly small (which it doesn’t sound like you are), it’s not that big a deal.

I may only be three inches, but some girls like it that thick.
I think few go for that small of a circumference though.

Never been a Jersey dweller, but lived just over the river in suburban Philly. That’s just the southeast PA version of the joke. I heard about the planned demo but haven’t been over there to see if it took place or not.
Believe it or not, not every culture obsessed with penis size has preferred the big 'uns. The Master speaks: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/051209.html
The above might also account for certain features of the artwork of Michelangelo . . .
I’ve always figured that, whether you got 2" or 12" doesn’t matter. It feels the same to you, and who cares about her!
. . .if the cheezmongress saw this, she’d probably cut me down to half an inch, Lorena Bobbit style. . .
There probably isn’t a single other thing on the planet that people have experienced so much totally unneccessary anxiety about.
What about women obssessing about their breast size? Believe me, that can be just as bad. Bigger doesn’t always equal better there, either, but a lot of people think it does.
I’m sure your penis is fine.

What about women obssessing about their breast size?
Only because we guys obsess about it. And I couldn’t begin to tell you why (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=281864), but obsess we do.
Well, whether length is important to females is really a different discusssion. I remember good old Desmond Morris claiming that since our equipment is so much larger than that of the apes, there certainly is an evolutionary drive in favor of it.
The important message for fretsonfire is that, as Tevildo pointed out, flaccid length has little correlation with erect length.
If he wants the information, he should compare with average erect penis length:
